Author Notes
This is the second time Ken has been featured in a short story (the first being Cream Puff), but he's much older here, a little wiser, a little kinder, but still abrasive. I like to think that Ken and Laurence are that unlikely couple that people don't expect to last long, but since they're so different, it works.
Also I wanted to push back against the idea that it's too late for anything. Some people just don't find what they're looking for until they're ready, whether young or old. There's a whole life worth living, you shouldn't write off anything! :)
